this sounds to me like you're making a mountain out of a mole hill. Just pick a numbering scheme. Or heaven forbid, provide an option.

Again, more overcomplicating the problem.
I don't believe you understand his point.

He's not overcomplicating the problem; you're oversimplifying it. Your reader uses multiple different ways to calculate page numbers, depending on context, and some of those bear little resemblance to the "real page numbers" found in a printed book. That makes it impossible to "just pick one" without harmonizing all of those systems...which is a much taller order than you might think. I just finished a book last night that has a print page count around 380, but an electronic count closer to 260. Which one is right?
